I found the location really central. Everything i needed was super close. breakfast was excellent, it really set me up for the day. the staff were also very friendly and accommodating! i would definitely book again.
Road noise was a big issue. I only stayed one night and didn't get any sleep! i booked two nights but asked for a refund on the second night. sadly the owner displayed a bad attitude, a shame.

the staff were very friendly and helpful, a real asset! i really enjoyed the excellent location. it made getting around so easy. the breakfast was delicious too, a perfect start to each day. i stayed in a superior double room and it was just right for me.
the road noise was a bit bothersome. i did find it hard to sleep initially. perhaps some better soundproofing would help.
